CAD I

This course introduces the student to the Siemens NX modeling software. Students begin by learning to create only 2-Dimensional models and drawings and then progress to constructions of 3-Dimensional models using primitives and features. This includes efficient use of Layers, Coordinate Systems, Datum Features, and the Part Navigator. Finally, students are shown how 2D parametric sketches can be used to create 3D models. Emphasis is also placed on creating basic engineering drawings from the 3D models that are created.
